Tränennacht

A serial killer commits gruesome murders of women - until he comes across Daisy Dawson:

"Night of Tears" is the first thriller in the Sacramento series by bestselling American author Karen Rose. If you are looking for hard thriller suspense and a passionate love story, this is the book for you.
A serial killer is on the loose in Sacramento, preying on women. But when the killer chooses young Daisy Dawson as his new victim, he falls for the wrong girl. Daisy knows how to defend herself, beats her attacker into flight and tears a silver medallion from his neck in the process. Its engraving of a tree of life corresponds exactly to the tattoo once involuntarily inflicted on FBI agent Gideon Reynolds.
The trail leads Daisy and Gideon directly into the line of fire of the serial killer - and to the hidden cult "The Church of Second Eden" ...

The American author Karen Rose is a regular guest on the bestseller lists with her thrillers (including "Night of Tears" , the Thorn Thrillers and the Baltimore series). She skilfully combines absolute high tension with romantic and sparkling love stories.
"To call this thriller a page-turner is an understatement!"
